Any info on where to begin would be great. I'm based in Waihi now. Cheers! Tom.

Hey Freshy what part of Northland are you from Mate?.There is a couple of good buggers from Waihi on here.Good luck and hope you get your kids out for a hunt one day.

welcome to the forum. a good start would be get rid of the xbox!! some good guys on here will be sure to help you. good luck

Hey Neckshot, I grew up in Kaikohe, also Panguru and Kohukohu in the hokianga. Those xbox's will be partly funding my exploits possumer! Haha so getting rid of them is in the pipeline!

A good move in my humble opinion would be to get in touch with local deerstalkers in paeroa. They run the anual "Hunts" course which will have you running around the hills in no time.

Should find contacts here; Homepage

They are down morrisons rd

Whoops! Sorry Mucko, I didnt open your link so didnt realise I was double posting.

Try rd1 or farmlands for a safe they often do some pretty sharp deals this time of year

Will definitely get in touch with deerstalkers, thanks Pengy and mucko, this thread has been very helpful! And thanks dairyhunter, I didn't even think to look at RD1

What are you weekends off like could tee up a day for you to bring the family down to the farm. we can hit some gongs and paper for the day and then go for a bunny shoot in the evening.
